Before you do the cleanup, you must shut down the power supply in your home. If your house has been damaged by flood, always remember that electrocution is serious, and can usually be avoided by removing electrical current via a breaker.
The next step is to remove the flood water from the house. For safety reasons, assume all water you're dealing with is contaminated by waterborne pathogens, which is common when flooding hits. By treating all water as if it's contaminated, you can already be prepared in case you find out it actually is. Once the flood water is removed and the affected areas are clean, it’s time to dry them. Drying the spaces in the correct way will save you from mildew and rot down the road. Accumulating mold is among the worst consequences of flooding. That’s why proper measures should be taken immediately to prevent things from growing.
